Apples in the last few weeks before slaughter?

[hannalice]

Hey all,

Just wanted to get proof of something. Years ago my uncle used to raise turkeys, and would feed them apples in addition to the commercial feed for the last few weeks, saying it would sweeten their meat. True? Or an old wives tale? I was gonna do this with this batch of meaties, but if it's not effective...

I know the wild turkeys in Texas eat the wild chili pateen peppers and you can taste the pepper in the turkey..
